Do you recently notice that AvantGo's resolution on Prism is much higher. I think it's 16 bit color they promised. It makes my prism cooler.

I wish they'd support 4-bit greyscale for the deluxe.

Can't be -- to support 16-bit colour, you would have to install a new version over it. It won't support 16-bit colour otherwise as the current AvantGo app we have does not.

Exactly... maybe they made a change to the software on their proxy servers that enables better image compression.

On a related note, I recently read that the next version of the Palm Query App development kit will include support for 16-bit PQA's, which will be great for enhancing interfaces with color-encoding, etc.

I'm glad to hear they'll support 16-bit, I have a ton on my Prism but never really use them since I'd rather get it in color with browse-it. Once they release it in color I might even be willing to fork over the cash for the official solution rather than just loading the libraries from a Palm VII.

I wish they'd drop that 2 meg limit...I got plenty of space and want more channels, but can't add them. Also, they stopped letting us control link depth on many channels which ticks me off a little. Now some of my channels download the sites from their ad banners too. Yuck!

Apparently, AvantGo is working on support for 16-bit color. They won't specify when it will be out, but I would expext to see it by the time the m505 is available.

They stopped letting us end users modify some of the preferences on their "official" channels about a month ago: http://discussion.visorcentral.com/...ghlight=avantgo

Example:
Link Depth: 2 *
Follow Off-Site Links: Yes *
* These properties are managed by this channel's provider and cannot be modified by the user.

My wife's has color?

I recently got my wife a prism after she drooled all over mine. When she set up Avant Go, she was able to get one of the channels, Yahoo!, in color. Granted it was only the Yahoo! title that was in color, but mine is still in grey. I tried Avant Go customer support, but have not yet heard from them. I tried deleting the channel and re-installing it, but that didn't work. Although this isn't a big deal, it still bothers me...

Any ideas?

Does that mean removing all the AvantGo stuff off the desktop hard drive too, or just the Visor?

Thanks....but,

Thanks...good idea, but it didn't work. I deleted both Avant Go and Mobilelink, re-installed, but nothing changed. Any other ideas?

Remove the libmal file from the device too, that should be the problem.

You need to download the latest version and reinstall.

Actually, the problem is the "MBln" files -- they stay there even after you delete MobileLink and AvantGo from your Visor.

Look for these files (they will be there if you have previously had AvantGo) and delete them.

Reinstall AvantGo on the Visor and you will definitely see colour-enabled channels in colour.
